Hi Nathaniel,
Here's an example of something along the same lines of your hilt.
This one is Palembang style decorated and is from Sumatra.
It is a humble piece; nothing fancy or expensive.
Variations on this form abound throughout the area .
At some point this form morphs into a Garuda, or Sea Bird motif in the Celebes.
Hope this helps .
